Boule size science
Ok, some of you have been playing for years and have much knowledge of boule size, what determines what size you use? Do the better players use the perfect fit or do some use small or big when they should use the opposite, my sporting history puts me in the tinkering team, so I've already had a few sets, and this will continue im sure lol

The boules that I bought and played through the summer with felt good, now in the cold of winter they don't feel so good. Is temperature also a consideration in boule size and weight 🤔

Warm up pre game
What do you all do pre game? I have no routine yet , I simply rock up get my boule out and throw them for a couple of minutes, sometimes with a jack but mostly without, sometimes I get straight into the game

@James Clapper great points James. I've recently taken to what they call in the fitness industry as "exercise snacking" so on any given day I do mobility/ flexibility exercises multiple times. Shrugs/shoulder and wrist rolls when I'm waiting for the kettle to boil for example.

Rotator cuff injury
Hi Kevin, whilst I'm suffering and seeing a physio for this injury, I'm constantly throwing short, apart from the usual tyre exercises, any suggestions to alleviate this short throw. Thanks

I've also had rotator cuff injury, it's taken nearly two years to heal and I'm still conscious of it. I regularly do mobility and strengthening exercises (dead hangs, kettlebell halos,and band work etc) Don't push through the pain, rest and recover.

Junk volume
Hi Kevin and all, I live in Midlothian Scotland (just south of Edinburgh) I've been playing for just over 5 months now and my clubs piste is only 400m from my home. (How lucky am I) I try to put in a bit of warm up practice before meets and a bit of solo practice on other days when no one is looking,whatever the weather. Is this 'junk volume'
